Haha, I wondered when you'd resort to charicaturising me as a scimitar weilding jihadist anti-semite.
The 45minute claim was Blair's, yes, but Colin Powell also painstakingly and embarassingly tried to convince the UN of Saddam's non-existant WMDs. The US sold the war on Terrorist reasons - it was an extension of their war on terror. Britain sold it on WMDs. Both gave different amount of weight to the others arguments. Humanitarianism was just a subtext to get the "left" on board. I'm not disregarding anything you said - there was NO CONNECTION between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda or Bin Laden whatsoever - as Bush tried to claim. But ofcourse you only see the world in terms of a much broader global Islamic jihad against the whole world.
And yes, Saddam did pass himself off as a Muslim hero to legitimise his regime, a latter day Saladin.
And yes, Saddam was contained, but only by the ever watchful eye of the UN. I repeat - there was no imminent humanitarian crisis in Iraq as you tried to claim (drawing parallels with Rwanda and Darfur). Consistently risking their lives? I'm astounded at your lack of awareness at your own hypocrisy, suggesting as you do that the US should be engaged in perpetual hot war against distasteful regimes.
Yes I am pleased Saddam is no longer around. I just dont buy this "we did it for the Iraqis!" bullshit.
And really, your suggestion that the US should be relentlessy engaged in more Iraq's, is pretty mind boggling considering the complete fuck-up they've made in Iraq.
And stop putting words into my mouth. I dont despise my government or its military forces. However I do hate white people. They eat pigs for fucks sake! Filthy cunts!
